30X, 50X, 70X, 90X Safety And Operation Instructions

▲!
To Avoid Serious Injury And Ensure Best Results For Your Tapping Operation, Please
Read Carefully All Operator And Safety Instructions Provided For This Tapping Unit as
well as all other safety intstructions that are applicable, especially those for your machine tool.
▲
! 1. Proper Clothing: The rotating spindle of a machine tool can snag loose fitting clothing, jewelry or long hair. Never wear jewelry,
long sleeves, neckties, gloves or anything else that could become caught when operating a machine tool. Long hair must be restrained or netted to
prevent it from becoming entangled in rotating spindle.

▲ ! 2. Proper Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses with

side shields to protect your eyes from flying particles.

▲ ! 3. Proper Work Piece Fixturing: Never hold the work piece or the vise it is held in, by hand.
The work piece must be clamped firmly to the table of the machine so that it cannot move, rotate or lift.

4. Proper Stop Arm / Torque Bar Installation

For Self-Reversing Attachments On
Conventional Machines:

▲
! Never extend the length of the standard stop arm supplied with
your tapping attachment. A lengthened stop arm could break free,
hitting the operator and causing serious injury.

▲ ! Never hold the stop arm by hand. On reversal, full power of the machine is transmitted through the stop arm
and the operator could be seriously injured.

▲ ! Always mount a
torque bar to hold the
tapping attachment’s stop arm
from rotating. The torque bar
must be mounted securely to
the table or quill of your
machine. The torque bar

▲!
To Avoid Serious Injury And Ensure Best Results For Your Tapping Operation, Please
Read Carefully All operator and safety instructions provided for this tapping attachment as
well as all other safety intstructions that are applicable, especially those for your machine tool.

▲ ! 7. Continuous High Production Manual Tapping: Models for use on conventional drill press or milling machines. Speed is a critical
factor in tapping. Please always refer to recommended tapping speed chart. Tapmatic Torque Control Reversing Tapping Attachments employ a
planetary gear reversing mechanism that increases speed by a 1.75 x 1 ratio. This means that a machine speed of 2,000 RPM results in a reversing
speed of 3,500 RPM. It is strongly recommended that you consider the AVERAGE TAPPING SPEED rather than machine speed when
calculating your cycle time. For example, if machine speed is 1,500 RPM, reverse speed is 2,625 RPM, making your AVERAGE TAPPING
!
SPEED 2,062 RPM. You must not exceed the maximum allowable speed marked on your tapping attachment.

▲ ! 8. Always Be Aware Of The Potential Hazards Of A Machining Operation: Sometimes working with your machine can seem
routine. You may find that you are no longer concentrating on the operation. A feeling of false security can lead to serious injury. Always be alert
to the dangers of the machines with which you work. Always keep hands, body parts, clothing, jewelry and hair out of the areas of operation,
when the machine spindle is rotating. Areas of operation include the immediate point of machining and all transmission components including the
tapping attachment. Never bring your hand, other body parts or anything attached to your body into any of these areas until the machine spindle is
completely stopped.

▲
! 9. Be aware of any other applicable safety instructions / requirements.

▲ ! 10. The tapping attachment housing, drive spindle and tap itself can become hot to the touch after operation. Use caution when
removing the attachment from the machine or handling.

Check List For Good Tapping

▲
! ❑
❑
1.
2.
Never use this unit before reading all safety instructions for this attachment as well as the machine it is to be used on.
Is tap sharp and of correct design for current job?
❑ 3. Is tap in proper alignment with drilled hole?
❑ 4. Is machine speed correct?
❑ 5. Is machine feed correct?
❑ 5. Is machine stop set properly so tap releases in neutral rather than bottoming in work piece or fixture?
❑ 6. Is work piece held rigidly against rotation and upward movement?
❑ 7. Is drilled hole the correct size?
❑ 8. Is clearance between the drilled hole and tap sufficient at start position to allow the tap to clear the hole upon retraction?
! ❑ 9. Is the stop arm of the tapping attachment held rigidly against rotation by the torque bar extending from the machine
quill or table? Machine torque bar must be stronger than the largest tap to be used.
❑ 10. Is the proper cutting fluid or coolant being used for lubricating the tap?
❑ 11. If a bottom hole is being tapped is there sufficient chip clearance?
❑ 12. Is the correct Tapmatic model for the specific job requirement being used? (Capacity should be reduced 25% for roll form taps.)
❑ 13. If a torque control attachment is being used, is the torque set correctly so tap will not break if accidentally bottomed?
❑ 14. If depth control feature is employed, is it set correctly to cooperate with the machine stop, provide the total thread depth
required and prevent engagement with bottom?
❑ 15. Is machine retraction correct for tapping attachment being used?

**These maximum tapping speeds are for optimum tapping conditions for the tap size, tap pitch and material involved. Optimum conditions are (1) a through hole or blind hole with generous chip clearance; (2) thread depth is one times
a tap diameter or less; (3) free machining material; (4) tap drill diameter for 60% thread; (5) use of LPS Tapmatic Cutting Fluid or Coolant; and (6) proper designed tap. Reduce speed accordingly for each non-optimum condition.
